Electric razors in Amarillo barbershops face slow adoption
Barber shop managers in Amarillo doubt a quick move to electric razors. They cite limited demand, higher costs, and doubts about shaving quality. Some shops consider electrics, while others remain with safety razors as customers continue to seek a clean shave. Air travel notes show planes already gear electric razors to avoid sharing. The debate persists as stores sell electrics at high volumes.
